By now, he should have already set sail.
He knew that as soon as he left, someone couldn't wait to set their sights on her.
She wanted to see who was hiding behind her in fear!
"Short-lived..." When Shen Xihe was deep in thought, he liked to stroke Short-lived's fur. Just then he realized that his fingertips missed the target. As soon as he spoke, he remembered that she had secretly given Short-lived to Fang Di, who gave it to Xiao Huayong so that Short-lived could accompany him and have a living creature to entertain him.
I just hope he gets better soon, and always remember that there is someone waiting for his return from afar.
Shen Xihe stood there in silence. After an unspecified amount of time, His Majesty, the Empress Dowager, Concubine Rong and Concubine Shu arrived together.
"My son pays homage to Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." Shen Xihe first bowed to Emperor Youning and the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother stepped forward and supported Shen Xihe who was about to bow down: "You are heavy, please be careful."
Emperor Youning didn't care about these things, but asked directly: "The palace servants reported that you poisoned Li?"
“Your Majesty, please do not listen to slander.” Shen Xihe remained calm and said slowly, “This is the East Palace. Since Beichen…” After a pause, Shen Xihe said, “Today is the day of Beichen’s burial. My son is not in good health and cannot see him off. He has been recuperating in the East Palace. For some reason, Li rushed to the East Palace and pulled out a dagger to kill Yu’er. Fortunately, the maid beside Yu’er had some skills and saved him.
Li failed to assassinate him, and became insane, then drank poison and committed suicide.
"Liu Sanzhi, bring the person up!" Emperor Youning ordered.
Liu Sanzhi was holding a maid, who was the maid that Li Yanyan had brought away.
"Just now you were shouting in the palace in a panic that the Crown Princess poisoned Li, but the Crown Princess said that Li drank the poison herself!" Emperor Youning stared at the maid who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty! Master, the master was indeed poisoned by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. She was poisoned by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess…” The maid kowtowed repeatedly, and she looked like a frightened person.
Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Xihe who was standing calmly, and then looked at the frightened maid. Emperor Youning ordered Imperial Physician Huang to check Li Yanyan's pulse, and confirmed that Li Yanyan died of poisoning.
Li Yanyan's other two maids were interrogated as well, and their statements were consistent with those of the maid who reported the news. The servants in the East Palace were then interrogated, and naturally their statements were the same as what Shen Xihe said.
Both sides hold their own opinions. The suspicious point is that Shen Xihe has no motive to kill, and if she wants to kill Li Yanyan, she should not be in the East Palace. Li Yanyan took the initiative to come to the door, and the East Palace has never had any contact with Li Yanyan and her husband before.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." The maid who went to report the news said tremblingly, "The master went straight to the East Palace after seeing Madam Yu Er..."
Shen Xihe raised her eyebrows calmly. She had never thought that there would be something about Yu Sangning.
Yu Sangning is tired of living, dare to provoke her
Obviously, Emperor Youning had not expected that his former daughter-in-law would get involved. He was extremely disgusted with Yu Sangning.
Without mentioning the initial incident between Shu Lin and Xiao Wenxi, and the daughter of the Yu family who was forced to death, just talking about the matter of Xiao Changmin, the role played by Yu Sangning in it made Emperor Youning feel uncomfortable.
Emperor Youning said solemnly: "Xuan Yu's daughter."
Yu Sangning yearned for wealth and admired the imperial palace, but this was the time she was most reluctant to step into this place.
